Returned from 9 days in Central Mexico. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.

Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $52/night. Quiet area but close to the action.

Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were slightly higher than expected.

Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 5 encounters total.

Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Eating out was very affordable.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 8/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.

Happy to answer any questions.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
